Re: Musharraf’s powerful friends are determined to keep him power
I think a lot depends on whether the PPP-PML-N coalition are able to get a 2/3 majority in parliament. I expect a lot of defections from PML-Q to PML-N in the short-term and even if the MQM does not support them on this issue, the new government should be able to get a 2/3 majority in the NA. Whether they can get a two-thirds majority overall (Senate + NA) is debatable but not impossible by any means. Once Mush has been reduced to being a nominal President he might just go.
